Seven districts in Maharashtra shared 42% of the population that were not vaccinated, which had not received a single dose of Covid vaccine, despite fulfilling the requirements, the latest report on the State Health Department revealed.
The population of 2.23 State Crore, Thane, Nashik, Aurangabad, Jalgaon, Solapur, Nanded, and Ahmednagar have a population of 93.71 lakh above 18 individuals, who qualify for free shots, but not yet advanced.
“These districts have a maximum population that is not vaccinated by the state.
We have focused on the use of interpersonal communication techniques and public education tools to motivate them to take a shot,” said Immunization Officers Sachin Desai to Ti on Sunday.
The country has a population of around 9.14 crores above 18 individuals.
From them, around 6.90 crores have taken the first dose.
But the remaining 2.23 crore hasn’t taken one shot.
Among all 35 districts in Maharashtra, Mumbai has recorded 100% vaccination.
Growing perceptions among the masses that the pandemic ends is among the main obstacles that hold the state back from achieving 100% coverage of the first dose, experts said.
The district collectively has a 2.9 crore population that qualifies for vaccines.
From them, 1,96,85,894 have taken the first dose, counting for 67% of the first dose vaccination until November 13.
About 32% of the qualified population remains not vaccinated since the Covid inoculation program was launched on January 16.
Activist health emphasizes to increase efforts to educate people about taking both doses.
“People are more focused on reclamation of income sources and put more efforts to compensate for losses during locking,” said Health Activist Sanjay Dabhade.
